Meryl Streep talks about being overwhelmed by fans on set of ‘Prada 2’

Meryl Streep shared details about huge crowds and chaos she came across on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Streep returns back as cut-throat editor in-chief, Miranda Priestly, of fashion magazine, Runway.

In an interview with the Harper Bazaar, she admitted she was "unnerved" by the frenzy around the filming of the sequel.

Talking about the set always being crowded by fans and spectators, the Mama Mia! star added, "Even though we were aware of the impact of the first film two decades ago, I think none of us were prepared for the ambush of both goodwill and avid attention that engulfed us."

She added, "We needed police barriers and crowd control."

While filming in New York alongside her co-stars — including Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt and more, the Oscar winner recalled, "Buses of fans turned up, and paparazzi swarmed and in one case kept jumping in front of the camera and the shot and got in a kerfuffle with crew."

"Annie kept her cool, but I was unnerved," she said.

The new cast members also include, Lucy Liu, Justin Therox, Simone Ashly, Pauline Chalamet, Patrick Brammall and few more.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is in theatres on May 1.
